Scheduled vs. Dawson in UFC 333 Aliev will take on Grant Dawson at UFC 333 in a lightweight bout at UFC 333 on Oct. 24, Marcel Dorff of Heavy On Sports reports.

Impact Aliev leaned heavily on his wrestling to secure a unanimous decision victory over Mike Davis at UFC Abu Dhabi in July this year. Aliev isn't much of a striking threat, and he could rely on his wrestling again to get another win. Aliev has gone undefeated in four UFC bouts in his career.

Leans on wrestling in victory Aliev defeated Mike Davis via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.

Impact Aliev lacks proper technique when it comes to his wrestling game, but he's very big and physically strong and that allows him to consistently drag his opposition to the mat. Just ask Davis. Aliev landed 8-of-13 takedown attempts, good for 12:25 worth of control time. It would be nice to see Aliev do more with his positional advantage -- he was credited with just 13 significant strikes -- but this was a clear cut unanimous decision. Aliev has won each of his first four UFC fights via decision after scoring a knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series back in September 2022.

The lightweight's most recent fight was against Shaqueme Rock at UFC Qatar on Nov. 22, where he won via unanimous decision. Aliev will look to stay undefeated in the UFC when he takes on Davis, who has more UFC fights to his name.

Improves to 3-0 with UFC Aliev defeated Shaqueme Rock via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Qatar on Saturday.

Impact Aliev swept the scorecards here, landing the more impactful blows through three rounds and racking up 3:44 of control time. He did allow Rock to get some momentum late, giving up a takedown and statistically, losing the significant striking battle in Round 3, but he smartly played things conservatively in the final frame. It was the expected outcome for the slight betting favorite, who improves to 3-0 under the UFC banner and 11-0 as a professional.
